How much to tip removal men?

8 replies

I'm in the middle of moving, currently taking turns with OH to hang out with my poor cats, who are locked away and very stressed! I'm listening to my three excellent removal men who have been genuinely outstanding so far, dismantling several large pieces of furniture which I thought would fit through without batting an eye lid. I'd like to give them a tip (providing the rest of the day goes as well as it has so far), how much is appropriate? 10%? £100?

We generally tip each one a tenner, provided we are happy obviously.

As above, gave them £10 each.

Ha! Clearly I'm being overgenerous!!

From memory I think we gave £10 each to the two lads that did our removal.

I gave them £30 each. I was quite overwhelmed with gratitude after they reassembled said tricky pieces of furniture in the new house without being asked! They've saved me hours. They are my new favourite people.

I am moving in a couple of days and planning to tip 10% of the move cost split between them assuming happy with the job. Lots of books and moving to a 3 story house so they will earn it. 😉

We gave ours £100 - they were outstanding.
They moved our stuff three times in three months and were completely unphased by last minute changes and problems.

Gave ours a very generous tip in the end - worth every penny and would use them again/ Recommned to others. They removed so much stress from the day and were so professional and calm.
